As Petroleum Minister, he borrowed a ₦40,000 bank loan in the 1970s to build his house — that was Dr. Shettima Ali Monguno, Nigeria's first Minister of Petroleum, appointed in 1972.

He took the loan to build his house in Maiduguri.

late Shettima Ali Monguno, PhD, was:

~ President of OPEC (1972–1973)

~ Minister of the Air Force (1965–1966)

~ Minister of Mines and Power

~ Minister of Petroleum and Energy (1972–1975)

~ Federal Commissioner for Trade (1967–1971)

~ Leader of the Nigerian delegation to UNCTAD II, New Delhi (1968)

~ Member of the Nigerian delegation to the United Nations for over 10 years

~ Pro-Chancellor, University of Calabar (1978–1980)

~ Pro-Chancellor, University of Nigeria (1980–1984)

~ Recipient of national honours from the Ethiopian Empire, the Republic of Egypt, Sudan, and Cameroon (1970)

~ Trustee, Girl Guides Association of Nigeria (1970–1990)

~ Deputy National Chairman, National Party of Nigeria (December 1980–1984)

~ Chairman, Maiduguri Metropolitan Council (1977–1978)

~ Member, Constituent Assembly (1977–1978)

~ Conferred with the national honour of Commander of the Order of the Federal Republic (CFR) in 1982

~ Director, Nigbel Bank Nigeria Ltd. (1988)

~ Chairman, Borno Education Endowment Fund (1986)
Yet, he died with only one house — a house he acquired through a ₦40,000 bank loan, which he repaid in instalments.

In 1974, when he wanted to build a house in Maiduguri, he applied for a ₦40,000 bank loan. The bank requested a guarantor. He approached his boss, General Yakubu Gowon, then Head of State and Commander-in-Chief, to stand as his guarantor.

General Gowon declined, explaining that it would amount to an abuse of office for him to facilitate such a loan.

Shettima then explored other options.

Julius Berger was already a well-established construction company at the time. He approached the company to build the house for him.

They agreed on one condition:
Julius Berger would finance and build the house, then rent it out until the ₦40,000 was fully recovered through deductions from his salary.
Shettima accepted the arrangement. That was how he built his modest bungalow in Maiduguri.

He was only able to achieve this through a BOOT (Build, Own, Operate and Transfer) arrangement with Julius Berger.

He attended Monguno Primary School, Teachers' College Bauchi, Teachers' College Katsina, the College of Arts, Science and Technology, Zaria, Moray House College of Education, and the University of Edinburgh.

He was also presented with the Keys to the Cities of New York City, Louisville (Kentucky, USA), Quito (Ecuador), and Lima (Peru).

May his soul rest in peace.

🚨Lionel Messi on facing Spain:

"It's a huge pride for me to hear that Lamine, Pedri and Cubarsí want my jersey after the final. Seeing young Barcelona players say things like that is special because the club will always mean a lot to me."

"I even heard there might be a little battle over who gets it. I think I'll have to bring a few extra jerseys because one won't be enough for everyone😀"

"They have an incredible future ahead of them, and I truly believe this generation will make Barcelona great again and bring the Champions League back to the club. They have the talent, the mentality and they understand what Barcelona represents."

"But first, we have a World Cup final to play. For 90 minutes, we'll all give everything for our countries. After the final, whatever the result, it'll be a nice moment to share that respect ❤️."

9.84s!!🔥
National Record ☑️

Kayinsola Ajayi 🇳🇬 defeats World Champion Oblique Seville 🇯🇲 again to win the men's 100m at the London Diamond League!

He equalled his National Record of 9.84s (-0.7) for the secind time, ahead of Seville who ran 9.87s.

[Making of Champions @MakingOfChamps]

Kayinsola Ajayi now makes running 9⃣.8⃣4⃣s look too easy.

In fact, he probably would have even run much faster if he wasn't staring down on Oblique Seville before crossing the line.

Ajayi belongs in the big league now!

[Moshood A. Hassan @MAAHwrites]

@MakingOfChamps Coulda been a sub 9.8, without that stare down. Thought he learnt his lesson after the SEC

[Amoo Shina @AmooShina]

@MakingOfChamps Doing that against Seville. Wow.
We have a 100m world class sprinter for the first time since Fasuba. Even Fasuba didn't dominate his race like this.

[HAY - WHY 👑👑👑 @adeyele_ayoola]

@MakingOfChamps @MakingOfChamps - KAYINSOLA AJAYI 🇳🇬 is not running yet cos he is literally JOGGING with the World Champion . The day he starts running THE WORLD WILL BE SHOCKED by the time he will post 💯. HE IS HERE TO STAY 💯

NAIJA 🇳🇬 TO THE WORLD !!!!

[Sir Kay @Rise_Forge]

This video is heartbreaking. 💔
This soldier didn't lose his hands by chance. He sacrificed them so millions of Nigerians could wake up in peace. Freedom has a price, and he will carry that sacrifice for the rest of his life.

The next time you mock a soldier or dismiss their service, remember this moment. One man lost both hands in the line of duty. Many others have lost limbs, and countless never made it home. Their families carry those sacrifices every day. 💔

No amount of money can replace what this hero has lost or erase the pain he endures. The least we owe him, and every man and woman in uniform, is gratitude, respect, and prayers. Thank a soldier today.🙏 🇳🇬
